For the vast majority of human history, no sound could be recorded. That\u2019s a breathtaking amount
\nof music, speech, and audio that\u2019s simply been lost forever, or only retained in written records. But
\nstarting from just 160 years ago this all changed, causing a dramatic revolution in the way we live
\nour lives, experience culture, and enjoy music.<\/p>\n

This transformation began with the introduction of the phonautograph, which was invented by
\n\u00c9douard-L\u00e9on Scott de Martinville in 1859. It didn\u2019t have a great deal of practical use for most
\npeople, as it could only record sound waves but not reproduce them. Instead, he used the invention
\nas a lab instrument to study sound.<\/p>\n

The audio revolution began in force with Thomas Edison\u2019s better known phonograph, which arrived
\non the scene 18 years later in 1877. For the first time ever, sound could be played back and this
\nopened up a world of possibilities. He achieved this by storing the sound in hollow wax cylinders.
\nEdison initially believed that the best market for this invention would be business communication,
\nbut musical recording proved to be the real selling point, giving people the chance to listen to music
\nat home for the very first time. This was essentially the genesis of the music industry that still exists
\ntoday.<\/p>\n

However, even the phonograph\u2019s sound quality was very poor and it was difficult to produce the
\ncylinders in large volumes. Only about 25 copies could be made from any one recording, at which
\npoint the original would be too worn down. This meant that to make 500 cylinder records (hardly
\nenough to get anyone a platinum album), the performers would need to perform a track 25 times in
\nfront of 20 phonographs!<\/p>\n

So how did get from this to being able to store thousands of tracks on our smartphone and play
\nmusic on demand whenever we like? Huge technological developments throughout the 20 th century
\nhelped audio recording technology to progress in leaps and bounds, including electronics, magnetic
\ntapes and digital encoding.
